Apparently One of the Blue Angels Pilots thought it would be a terrific idea. The Blue Angels Boss said if you get FAA Clearance & Clearance from Candlestick Park then we'll do it. They moved the Blimp Up to 3000ft to give the angels room, sure thing after the Airshow they headed over the Stadium.
Yes, this was definitely planned, the only people who did not know they would get that close were the commentators and crowd. At the same time, even if something is planned, and even if the pilots are professionals, things still have the potential to go wrong. Being an ex-Navy or current Navy pilot does not mean you are immune from disaster or that you don't still need to take precautions.
"We just GOT buzzed." Arguably the greatest flyover in the history of sports due to the team in the sky and the team in the booth. Madden's greatest line ever.
I was living on Potrero Hill when this happened, and the Blue Angels overflew my place about 20 seconds before they overflew the game on my TV. It was one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen.
They missed a great opportunity to have cameras follow around Madden in an air traffic control tower for a day. Would have been the greatest entertainment
Watched the Twins win a couple World Series in one while growing up, not to mention all the fun at Vikings games... Sorry, not sorry. I'd take the Metrodome back in a heartbeat over what they got in Minneapolis now...

I attended this game in person. The Blue Angels flyover was completely unexpected and the fans loved it!
Would have loved to be in that blimp, being in on the surprise when they got the call from ATC.
I was in the city during the game watching the Blue Angels I missed the game because I thought at the 49ers are going to beat up Rams

“Do they know what they’re doing?”
Yes, John. They do cuz they’re some of the Navy’s elite pilots. RIP JOHN MADDEN

@@williamafton4427 They got approval from FAA and the park, and moved the blimp so yeah just didn't get relayed to the commentators and crowd.
"Does a kid wanna be a Blue Angel? I never wanted to be a Blue Angel." John Madden lol.
A Blue Angels video brought me here to hear the original call. RIP Madden & Summerall, the voices of the biggest game of Sunday afternoon for years.
Same. Love that kinda stuff.
Was it the one where they talked about how this happened? Cause me 3
The best!... I so miss their voices during a game..... especially Thanksgiving....made my thanksgiving extra special

Every single person in my neighborhood who owns a Dodge Charger thinks they’re a Blue Angel flying by my house at 2:00am.

You tell how scared John was. Rest in peace now John. You and Pat are legends!
I haven't been that close to an airplane in 18 years. Classic Madden
John Madden named the
blue angels his MVP for his 1997 all madden team!
Not joking😂
Watch some more of the video
I remember watching this game on tv when this happened. Memories!
The Blues, Summerall, and Madden… Good America!
Pat: now here that come again.
Madden: WHERE?!?!
RIP to the hands down greatest NFL Announcer Team in the history of the NFL!
We miss you very much Pat & John.
The cockpit video of the flyby is awesome to see
Beautiful moment to be an American
I was at this game with my son when this happened. It was amazing!
John was scared as hell 😂😂😂😂 poor guy
I miss John.
1:13 "Listen" - so summerall
RIP JOHN MADDEN 👍🙏
I think that's John Madden doing his impersonation of Frank Caliendo doing John Madden.
I just learned of this today and I was an avid NFL fan back then.
John Madden, the best:)
They became the "All Madden" team that day.
Damn i miss these days
For those who are interested October 12, 1997.
1997 All-Madden Team!!!!
I remember this!!!
They missed a great opportunity to have cameras follow around Madden in an air traffic control tower for a day. Would have been the greatest entertainment
America!!
That's when the Blue Angles had BALLS. No a days, if there isn't an air show you won't see them.
These days the Thunderbirds put on a better show.
R.I.P to the GREAT Pat Summerall
Only thing missing was a sonic boom.
Yes, I want to be a Blue Angel.
Rumor has it John messed his pants on that one.
For the perspective of the Blue Angels ruclips.net/video/qRbskYCR3bc/видео.html 48:30
AMERICA!!
Good to see this and be reminded how awful those dual purpose stadiums were. Ugh what a terrible design.
Watched the Twins win a couple World Series in one while growing up, not to mention all the fun at Vikings games...
Sorry, not sorry. I'd take the Metrodome back in a heartbeat over what they got in Minneapolis now...
I didn't know john madden was a "no flyer"
Traveled by Train
@@patrickwilliams4973 He rode in the Madden Bus.
John Madden disliked this video
Speculation, or do you hear something? He thought it was altered, or just felt embarrassed?
He totally pulled a biden in his pants! Rofl!
U suck at life
They did a fly over last summer too. John Madden needs to fix his panties.
"Do they know what theyre doing?" What a dumb question.
